If you want to restore a full folder then there’s an option that lets you do that.

The file selection dialogue box has gotten a facelift from its previous versions. There’s an easy preview window to the right pane and it lets the users see the contents stored in a folder. Management tab is another option for conveniently checking the files and re-running the backup if it’s necessary. If a backup job was interrupted then that could be repaired from the same Management dialog box.

A highly useful feature is called the partition and drive imaging. This feature comes useful if you want to migrate an OS to a new hdd. The drive imaging and partition feature will shift the entire contents of a hard disk drive to another keeping the partition table as it is in the previous hard drive, just increasing the ratio if it’s necessary. Full and incremental drive imaging makes the task happen at ease. Through this feature, a computer user won’t have to manually partition a new hard drive and copy the files one by one to the new hard drive. Both time and efforts are saved to a greater extent.
